5 Oct 2026Comfortable bed and reasonable room size. Breakfast was particular good. I have stayed at several hotels in the vicinity which I feel offer better amenities and value.

30 Aug 2026arrived to be greeted by one of the bar staff who was very friendly, then the manager came to see us and signed us in, explained about time of breakfast, then helped us up stairs with our overnight bags. such a really nice gentleman, his name was Dave. the room was very clean and tidy, lovely white fluffy towels, plenty of tea, coffee etc. Breakfast was so good, and plenty of it , that was an extra charge of £9 pp, so worth it. would definitley stay again.

30 May 2026Staff were very friendly. Head of house gave us a fabulous Welcome.
The accommodation and eating area was spotless, which is very surprising for a dog friendly Inn.
Sports bar was a lovely addition to entertain us, on our one night stay.

25 May 2026I had a wonderful one night stay at the Coach Inn while passing through. The facilities at the inn are great and I would thoroughly recommend it. One comment for consideration the bedroom window was screwed shut in my room no 9, the room gets full sun making it hot with no air so it would be a major benefit to be able to open it for some fresh air, my suggestion would be to fit some stops instead of it being screwed shut so it could open say 8" or so. Sought Molton has is full of character and well worth a walk around too.

12 Oct 2026Fantastic night at this recently refurbished hotel, slight worry about noise on arrival as all guests rooms are above a busy bar but soundproofing was first rate and not a sound could be heard in the rooms.
Staff friendly and welcoming.
Would recommend if ever in the area, im sure we will be back!

1 May 2026Good helpful staff. Very friendly and willing to make our stay comfortable.
Overall cleanliness good, furniture however rather outdated and rickety and sadly beds were not comfortable. As the inn was on the main road it was extremely noisy especially when the boy racers sped past.
Good for a stop over for one night but I wouldn't stay for longer. Meals were on the expensive side but very nice.

30 Dec 2025Room could have been cleaner dust/dirt/cobwebs spotted in corners. Check in could be improved... A sign or signs would help, I was left hanging around the bar to ask about c/in the bar staff then pointed me to someone who was busy taking a long food order, they then eventually directed me to someone else who then said they were busy and I would need to wait for them... I found this irritating and poor customer service... I understand that they were busy but so was I... On leaving I had to guess what to do with the room key but luckily found a key safe... I can't comment on food as it was a room only option. Car parking wasn't straightforward and again signage or guidance from the staff would be helpful.

30 Sept 2026Hotel is fine , Food ok at night , starter was mushrooms which were just about warm enough not to moan , main course fine . Wainwrights ale was ok but hadn’t settled or was going off. Breakfast was supposedly 8am which is a ridiculous time for working people , saw chef outside when he was going to open and asked was there any cold items to eat as if it opens at 8 am then you aren’t getting hot food till later , his reply was I am waiting for owner . The cherry on the cake was on arrival and walking past the beer garden we were greeted by a piss head who had been drinking a few hours by the words “How is your bum for spots” very original . I will add we are both engineers who like a drink and a laugh . In short room fine , not much else to recommend.
